Workshop: Feel Better, Teach Better: Strategies for Supporting Faculty Mental Health

Register here | Facilitator: Rachel Yoho

*This event was rescheduled from its original date (Feb. 5).

Teaching is difficult and often an isolating experience.  There are many mental health issues in academia, particularly related to the situation and the work.  Yet, only student mental health is well studied and discussed.  In this workshop, we explore faculty mental health, strategies for improving the environment, and address barriers to addressing concerns.  Please note that this is not a self-help or “yoga your way out of stress” workshop and does have discussions of mental health issues and self-harm.  While university resources are shared, this is an academic and professional development workshop, not medical or mental health advice.  Join us to create community and talk about one of the most prevalent, but under-discussed, issues in academia!

Workshop: (Re)Designing Syllabi for Inclusive Classrooms that Support Learners & Instructors

Register here | Facilitator: Rachel Yoho

Are you ready to align your courses with university commitments to inclusive teaching? Or are you developing a new course or submitting an existing one for the new university-wide tags (like Mason Core)? In this workshop, we will work to advance our understanding of inclusive course design and how to improve syllabi to be more inclusive for everyone in the space (including instructors!). During the session, we will have specific discussion time to focus on connecting these ideas with your course and your discipline. At the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a greater understanding of the potential considerations for designing and redesigning inclusive course syllabi and aligning with broader institutional initiatives and expectations.
